China's corporate profits surged in Q2, but weak markets and economic challenges keep these four China ETFs in focus.
China's exports and imports gathered momentum in August, as the world's second-largest economy faces mounting pressure to rebalance trade.
The United States and China are set to make some announcements on agriculture and non-tariff barriers during a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington this month, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Thursday.
Sam Vadas focuses on moves outside of U.S. equities by explaining what's driving the selling action in Chinese stocks on Tuesday. Marley Kayden turns to the macro front by looking at the pressure on existing home sales.
China's exports rose more than expected in July, as global demand for high-tech components continues to absorb the country's manufactured goods.
July was riddled with small reversals brewing beneath the surface of the market's quiet headline returns. Capital pivoted from growth into value, large caps into small caps, and the newer digital economy into the real economy — as evidenced by strength in financials, healthcare, and real estate.
The top five performing iShares ETFs in July highlight strong returns in specialized market segments. Driven by gains in China large-caps, positive Ethereum momentum, and renewed geopolitical tensions leading to higher oil prices, July performance leadership came from a diverse range of asset classes.
I am initiating a small trading position in iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) for diversification and potential decoupling from US tech-driven markets. FXI benefits from China's state-backed monetary interventions and AI ecosystem push, but is anchored by financials, not pure tech exposure. FXI trades at 13.3x trailing earnings, offering attractive relative valuation versus the S&P 500's 33x, despite recent underperformance.
